I never said this. But ImageMagick is of course required to run LyX. A
wordprocessor is useless when no images can be processed.

admin priviliges. Again, you don't *need* latex installed to run LyX.
Hä? "Run" a program is not just starting it. If I run LyX I want to be
able to get a result. This is the reason why I build the new installer!
And what if other installers will
need admin privileges too in future releases?
That's their problem. It's not something you should be concerned about.
No it is my problem because my installer uses them! Angus, with all
respect, have you ever tested my installer or looked in its code?
Please do so and you will probably understand my decision.
I don't say that admin privileges are definetively needed but for the
moment I want to have a stable installer before working on this.
(Currently I have the problem that the Postscript delegation of the
latest ImageMagick still fails and that the graphics conversion don't
work when TeXLive is used.)
